Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Eskdale, this beautiful countryside retreat offers a perfect blend of comfort, style, and unforgettable views.

Stepping inside, you’re welcomed from the stunning surrounding scenery into a beautifully presented and tastefully decorated home, designed with relaxation in mind.

To the front, the cottage enjoys a unique outlook onto the charming Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, while stunning countryside views surround you in every direction.

A truly special escape in one of the Lake District’s most picturesque settings.

The area

Nestled in the heart of one of the Lake District’s most scenic valleys, your cottage sits in Boot, a charming rural village in Eskdale, Cumbria. Surrounded by dramatic fells and winding rivers, this area is ideal for guests seeking peace, nature, and authentic Lakeland life. Boot itself is a small settlement of traditional stone cottages and countryside pubs — perfect for a relaxed stroll before dinner. Just minutes away on foot you’ll find the 17th-century packhorse bridge, the historic Eskdale Mill with its working waterwheels, and the quaint Whillan Beck stream — all with views straight out of Lake District postcards.

Locals and visitors alike love Boot for its two classic pubs, picturesque walking trails, and proximity to natural gems like Stanley Ghyll Force waterfall and the River Esk banks. It’s serene, scenic, and a perfect base to explore both quiet valley routes and more challenging fell walk

Getting around is easy on foot within Boot, as local pubs, walking trails, riverside paths, and Dalegarth Station on the Ravenglass & Eskdale steam railway are all within a short walk. The area is ideal for walkers, with many scenic routes starting directly from the village. A car is recommended for exploring the wider Lake District, as Eskdale is rural and public transport is limited, and the surrounding roads are narrow and winding but offer spectacular views. For a unique and relaxing journey, guests can also take the historic steam train to Ravenglass on the coast, connecting with mainline rail services and coastal paths.

“We had a wonderful long weekend in this lovely, cozy cottage with our 2-year-old and our dog. The area is beautiful and peaceful, and the landscape in the morning is absolutely the best - such a lovely way to start the day. The beds were very comfortable, the shower was great, and the whole cottage had such a warm and cozy feel. It was the perfect place for a relaxing family getaway, and we really enjoyed our stay.”

“A brilliant find. A lovely, well-equipped and conveniently located home. There are endless walks in all directions, the beds are comfortable, the log burner very cosy and the views breathtaking. An added bonus is having two superb pubs within a a 5-minute walk. Thoroughly recommend. Hope to return in the not too distant future.”
